MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

KC just signed Duffy long term. Its a REALLY bad look to deal a guy shortly after signing him to a long term deal that was likely a bit of a hometown discount

That's fair enough. What if by the off-season we are in total rebuild mode. Then is it fair to deal Duffy?

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

thanks. who would be a good catcher to trade for?

Depends on what rosters you are using. But just in the Sox own org Blake Swihart is usually pretty good (he is at LF in some rosters), Vogt from the A's if they are out of it, Kurt Suzuki wherever he is can be good, and Mesoraco from the Reds.

thanks. the roster I'm using is the OSFM Draft roster. And what about lucroy, if the rangers are out of contention, cervelli?, Realmuto

I get the feeling Realmuto is the one guy who stays in Miami... I don't know why, just a hunch. But if you trade for him you'll need to give up something good, he's controllable for years to come.

Lucroy is a FA and is being shopped now IRL, but if he's having a good year he'd cost a lot too. Incredibly valuable when he's hitting and framing well.

Cervelli just signed a 3 year deal with the Pirates and he's a huge fan favourite. I don't see him being traded but it's the Pirates so who knows.

Tough to trade a catcher unless you have someone waiting to replace him...

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Hello guys. Just wondering what people would think the price for Dan Straily would be in the 2018 offseason. I'm the Yankees and not really sure what the "realistic" asking price would be. He pitched pretty good for the Marlins in 2017, with a 3.7ish ERA and around 180 innings pitched.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

What would it take to get Michael Conforto to the Blue Jays. I traded Bautista using the suggest trade and got Mark Cahna playing LF and ik Conforto can play right. I have all of my prospects

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Would Derek Norris be a good fit for my Red Sox team?

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

So as the Red Sox, my bullpen has slipping as of late, so I looked at relievers on losing teams that could possibly be had. Thoughts on who would be the most attainable and what they would cost.

Zach Putnam (CWS) - 4-6, 58.0 IP, 56 K, 21 BB, 3.72 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
Nate Jones (CWS) - 1-1, 5 SV, 27.0 IP, 32 K, 4 BB, 2.33 ERA, 0.93 WHIP
Yusmeiro Petit (LAA) - 4-5, 7 SV, 65.2 IP, 54 K, 13 BB, 2.06 ERA, 0.93 WHIP
Ian Krol (ATL) - 1-0, 2 SV, 30.1 IP, 28 K, 13 BB, 2.08 ERA, 1.52 WHIP
Arodys Vizcaino (ATL) - 0-6, 28.1 IP, 26 K, 24 BB, 8.58 ERA, 2.15 WHIP
Drew Storen (CIN) - 0-0, 1 SV, 27.0 IP, 31 K, 6 BB, 1.00 ERA, 0.93 WHIP
Michael Blazek (MIL) - 4-5, 46.2 IP, 44 K, 31 BB, 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
Corey Knebel (MIL) - 0-3, 10 SV, 24.0 IP, 27 K, 7 BB, 3.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
J.J. Hoover (ARI) - 1-1, 2 SV, 33.0 IP, 33 K, 11 BB, 3.00 ERA, 1.09 WHIP,
Jake McGee (COL) - 2-1, 2 SV, 41.2 IP, 45 K, 13 BB, 2.59 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
Adam Ottavino (COL) 4-3, 2 SV, 61.1 IP, 59 K, 24 BB, 3.38 ERA, 1.40 WHIP
Greg Holland (COL) - 1-6, 18 SV, 30.1 IP, 31 K, 17 BB, 4.75 ERA, 1.65 WHIP
Ryan Butcher (SD) - 1-0, 24.0 IP, 36 K, 13 BB, 3.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP

I could also use another starter as Price is out for the next few weeks and E-Rod and Wright are in the minors after struggling in the majors. Kendrick and Owens have filled in nicely but I have doubts about their sustainability.

Phil Hughes (MIN) - 9-4, 118.2 IP, 73 K, 18 BB, 4.47 ERA, 1.35 WHIP
Jaime Garcia (ATL) - 4-3, 50.0 IP, 32 K, 16 BB, 3.42 ERA, 1.24 WHIP
Scott Feldman (CIN) - 4-3, 100.2 IP, 64 K, 22 BB, 3.49 ERA, 1.17 WHIP
Matt Garza (MIL) - 4-3, 60.2 IP, 36 K, 19 BB, 2.97 ERA, 1.27 WHIP

And same as needing a starter, I also need a third baseman, which these could be combined with a reliver and/or starter.

Todd Frazier (CWS) - 310 AB, 40 R, 19 HR, 46 RBI, 6 SB, .261 AVG
Yunel Escobar (LAA) - 105 AB, 7 R, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 0 SB, .248 AVG
Adonis Garcia (ATL) - 171 AB, 12 R, 2 HR, 14 RBI, 0 SB, .240 AVG

My preferred trade would be either Nate Jones or Zach Putnam and Todd Frazier, and then either Phil Hughes or Matt Garza for the starter.

For Jones and Frazier, I'd be willing to include E-Rod and/or Swihart in the return where Jones has a bit of control, but I figured where he's getting up there in age, Chicago wouldn't mind moving him. Putnam has also performed really well, so if it would be possible and/or realistic to get all three, I'd love to do that too, I'm just not sure of the return.

Devers, Dalbec, Travis, and Raudes are my only untouchable prospects in these trade talks, plus Dalbec is injured for the next 1-2 months.

Also, would Vizcaino from the Braves be attainable as just a change of scenery kind of guy. He has really struggled this season, but he is still young so I don't know how Atalanta would value him.

What about trading for Robertson and Frazier giving up Groome, plus trading for Ivan Nova. Now Nova is coming off a great finish to 2016. I would like to see his stats for 2017, but I do believe trading E-Rod would be enough as the pirates love high upside guys or guys who have had rough seasons to use as reclamation projects

Robertson has had a bad season and the Pirates own the first wild card spot so they're not trading Nova.

ok. What about trading for Michael Wacha if the Cards aren't in the WC Race. That would probably take two B prospects or E-Rod and either Chatham or Chavis. What I think you should do is trade E-Rod and 2 prospects probably a B and C or two B's for Wacha and Kevin Seigrest if the cards aren't in contention

But they are. They're tied with the Pirates for the wild card spots.

what teams are not in contention for a WC spot

[UNDERTAKER1215]

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

what teams are not in contention for a WC spot

Pretty much teams I listed players from, but add in the Orioles Athletics, Royals, Tigers and Mets. The Royals, Tigers, and Mets are within 5-6 games of the wild card, but the teams ahead of them would be tough to leap frog.
